X1 Carbon Gen3 upgrade to 1TB SSD

Q:X1 Carbon Gen3 upgrade to 1TB SSD

Hello, is there any vendor lock in BIOS to M.2 SSDs in X1 Carbon Gen3 notebooks? I've a 20BS003NXS Thinkpad with 512GB SSD which became insufficient. (ThinkPad X1 Carbon 3 i7-5500U(3.0GHz) 8GB 512GB SSD 14.0" WQHD TOUCH) I need to upgrade to 960GB/1TB SSD and my question is - will work any M.2 SSD with correct length of 80mm? E.g. INTEL SSD 540s Series 1TB M.2 22x80mm which (as it seems) is currently the only 1TB M.2 available in my country?

HiI went through the number of posts, but couldn't find a clear answer. I have X1 3rd gen ( 20BT-S0WX0P ) with 256GB SSD. Can I get just any M.2 2280 SDD as a replacement? In particular I have the choice of:Crucial MX200 500GB M.2 Type 2280SS SSDCT500MX200SSD4Samsung 850 EVO M.2 500 GB SSD Solid-SMZ-N5E500BWKingston SSDNOW 480GB M.2 SATA 6GBPS DOUSM2280S3G2/480G Can any of these work with my Carbon? Thank you

A:Carbon X1 Gen3 - SSD upgrade

I can confirm Samsung EVO 850 500GB M.2 will work fine in your 3rd gen x1 Carbon, i know it since I'm using this ssd myself in my x1 Carbon 3rd gen and it's working just fine

Im a new to this board and forst would like to say hi all! Im looking to order the Gen3 Carbon X1 in the next couple of days. Im little worried and confused about the ssd situation on it. The model Im looking at comes with the 256gb installed, which is not even close to the space I need.So Im looking at 512gb options from eBay. Ssd's are very expensive here, eBay or similar is the only viable option for me. What specs exactly work for the gen3? I gathered it supports two different standards? Also, can it really be, that we cant take the WWAN m.2 slot and put another ssd there? Has someone thoroughly tested this? Thank you...

A:Carbon X1 Gen3 SSD questions

SSD on the WWAN m.2 will not work...First, the WWAN M.2 slot in the X1 Gen3 is single-sided only (insufficient height for M.2 cards with chips on both sides), and second, it apparently doesn't have SATA lanes routed to the slot.The M.2 slot in the X1 Carbon Gen 3 uses M.2 SSDs of length 80mm and supports the following interfaces:PCIe 2.0 4x (faster)SATAIIIThe PCIe 512GB SSD in it is a Samsung MZHPV512HDGL-000L and in synthetic benchmarks it scores 2.5x higher than the SATAIII Samsung 840Pro... price difference is around 100 dollars for this one with the almost identical data... http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/thinkpad-x1-carbon-%282015%29/CT7007540http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/compatible-upgrade-for//thinkpad-x1-carbon-%282015%29Best regards...

A:X1 Carbon (Gen3 20BS) cannot boot NOTHING but BIOS

I tried to use hard reset... Hold that tiny button on the bottom for 30sec approx. Now it doesn't switch on at all o_O Just no reaction on power button. With or without AC. Not even on long press. What shall I do now?Lenovo, what's wrong with your devices? Why can user brick a device just using reset button?!?! Now I cannot even get my data from the SSD... **bleep** it!

I recently bought a refurbished Carbon X1. The trackpoint and the touchpad top buttons don't work. The touchpad and bottom button do work. Touchscreen does work. So far, everything else has been okay. The "Enable Trackpoint" checkbox is greyed out in Control Panel / Hardware / Mouse / Thinkpad tab. After searching forums and web, I have tried the following, none of which have worked:- update all drivers - ensure windows 7 updates are up to date- uninstall lenovo driver and install synaptics driver (didn't work) then reinstall lenovo driver (didn't work)- disable and enable trackpoint in BIOS (with reboots in between)- reset, power off, and reset via the hole in the base No luck so far. Any assistance greatly appreciated.Thanks!

Hi!

I have an X1 Carbon (I think it is 2nd generation, but am not sure). I have a 500 GB SSD but would like to increase this if possible. Are there larger SSDs available that fit the X1 Carbon and if yes, which one can you recommend?

I just purchased a new X1 Carbon with a 512Gb PCIe-NVMe SSD. I failed to follow my general rule of getting as much memory and disk as possible. So, I'd like to upgrade this SSD but have three questions: 1) What actual part do I have to order from Lenovo,2) How do I install it, and3) How do I copy the physical 512Gb SSD to the new 1Tb SSD, so I still have the Lenovo O/S and everything else I've installed on it? I have partitioned my SSD so there is: 1 - 260Mb of a simple EFI System partition1 - 1000Mb of a Recovery partition1 - 84Gb of a Windows 10 partition1 - 391Gb of an additional partition (defined as D:\) Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,

A:Upgrade SSD X1 Carbon Gen 4

Hi. I found this post from a Chinese forum, author of which have a Samsung 950PRO 512GB NVMe successfully installed, on a 20FB shipped with 192GB SATA.

I recently bought an X1 Carbon (Type 20FB) with Windows 7 preinstalled. I decided to upgrade to Windows 10 this week but I keep getting the popup: Something Went Wrong Not Enough Disk Space, please run Disk Cleanup an try again. Error code: 0x80070070 I'm pretty sure the problem is with Lenovo_Recovery partition which is 1MB shy of being full (Partition size is 12.7GB). I also tried cleaning up the recovery disk but with no luck. Thoughts?

My X1 Carbon originally came with 128 gig. I was able to upgrade to 256 gig SSD.I am now looking to upgrade to 512gig.Dont see many options out there. Fsctory style 512gig SSD for gen X1 I found thishttp://www.ebay.com/itm/291589667361?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AITNot sure what SSD will actually work with this adapter.Anyone out there try this option or have advice.Thanks

A:512 gb SSD upgrade options for 1st gen X1 Carbon

The x1 carbon gen 1 uses an SSD that is not the "normal" mSATA drive and is not M.2. I have used an adapter like the one in your link (different brand) to allow the use of a different drive and it works fine. The problem is that yours supports M.2 drives that are format 2242 (42mm long) but not the more common 2280 format cards. I could find no adapters to work with 2280 drives, and it looks to me like there wouldn't be enough room anyway. The only 512GB M.2 card I have seen in 2242 format is this one:https://www.cdw.com/shop/products/Transcend-MTS400?-solid-state-drive-512-GB-SATA-6Gb-s/3861108.aspx...

I have 4Gb RAM at the moment but would like to upgrade to 8 or 16 Gb. Is it possible or is it soldered on the motherboard? I have read different opinions on forums and would like a clear yes or no answer .If it is possible to upgrade RAM, then I'd like to know what kind of RAM i need to buy: DDR3? DDR4?... anything else i should know? Thanks for your help.

Hello All, I?ve received the Windows Downgrade Recovery Media for windows 10 Pro from Lenovo and I?ve followed all steps for the upgrade from windows 7 : -Bios and all driver update with ThinkVantage-changed in bios option ?OS Optimized defaults to enable?-reboot-press f12 and boot from usb key After that, a black screen with win10 Logo appearin 10 seconds it changes to a Lenovo Logo with a lifebeltI would expect a windows form for the selection languages , but my thinkpad x1 reboot and restart with windows 7.I tried also to modify from bios the boot order putting the highest priority to USB, but in this way start a loop.I think that the problem could be in the USB media that they have sent me.My upgrade to win10 pro is stuck, do you have any idea?Thanks

Hi there, There is an earlier discussion about SSD upgrade for 1st generation x1 carbon, up to 256GB. Someone mentioned two specific models that has the proprietary SSF form factor on this machine. I did a google search and can't find anywhere to buy. Below is the model number for 256GB. Anyone knows where to buy? 45N8483 2 SD 256GB 3.7mmH SanDisk SF X10-256 Thanks!

troubles started only after the upgrade to Windows 10 and I frankly tried to ignore the 1-2 BSOD's per day as I'm working 10h+ and still with deadlines in tow.Lately the BSOD's hit more often and from different reasons: Kernel Security Check Failure, IRQL not less or equal, Memory Management...I already ran all kinds of hardware tests, everything seems to be fine. Please note that the SysnativeFileCollection is a .rar inside a .zip as the file was too big.

Hi all! I just ordered the ThinkPax X1 Carbon 2nd Gen (20A70037US, i7, 8GB, 256GB, Touch). The only thing I wanted and could not get with it is the WWAN Card. I already have the 2011 version of the X1 (1286-CTO) which comes with the Gobi 300-0 WWAN Card (Sierra Wireless MC8355 ? Gobi(TM) 3000). I have been trawling the net and forums to check if I can pull out the Gobi 3000 from the older X1 and use it successfully in the X1 Carbon 2nd Gen. Is the Gobi 3000 compatible with X1 Carbon 2nd Gen? Will drivers or software be an issue? Are the slots compatible? I welcome any and all advice. Thanks!

Hi, VMarcoUnfortunately Gobi 3000 card you have isn't compatible with X1C Gen 2:- mechanically as it is in the mini pci-e formfactor vs new m.2 formfactor (formerly NGFF) new X1C supports;- logically as your card isn't approved by Lenovo to use in new X1C, it isn't whitelisted for that so as result laptop with that card will be blocked.There are several wwan options for X1C Gen 2 depend of the carrier you'll work with and the speed of wwan access you need:1. Ericsson N5321, HSPA+ 21Mbps:, FRU 04W38422. Gobi 5000 (Sierra Wireless em7355), LTE/EVDO/HSPA+, FRU 04W38012a. the same as item #2., with SIM sku, FRU 04X60383. Sierra Wireless em7345, LTE/HSPA+, FRU 04X6014IMHO the best choice is item #3:- supports both networks class 3g and LTE- supports frequency bands and network carriers almost worldwide, European as well as US (LTE Verizon, AT&T, Sprint)em7345 supports win8/8.1 natively w/o 3rd drivers. For win7 new drivers should be published soon officially. The only lack there isn't a soluton for card activation within Verizon network yet. Lenovo and Verizon know about that and work for the solution.

Trying to upgrade from W7 (64bit) to W10 on X1 Carbon. The W10 diagnostics come back with "The display is not compatible with Windows 10." All of the display drivers are huge downloads and I don't know which one to use. I am NOT a tech person. Help? Thanks.

Can someone advise where I can buy a larger SSD for my X1 Carbon (Type 3443-CTO). Not sure which generation of X1 this is. Currently have only 128GB. Would like to have 1TB. I am also open to swapping the WWAN to free up the socket if that is a possibility.

A:Upgrade SSD to larger size for X1 Carbon Type 3443...

largest ssd for the X1 carbon gen 1 is 256 gigs. The wwan slot can't accept a mSATA (I tried).

HiI own a X1 Carbon Gen 2 thinkpad and wonder if it is possible to replace the current keyboard with a X1 Carbon gen 3 keyboard (with proper mouse buttons), or if it will not fit?I have tried to check the manuals and the connectors seems similar although some things, such as the fingerprint reader, seems different. I have no problem "loosing" the adaptive keyboard and fingerprint reader if I can have all the functionality of the keyboard and trackpoint on the new "keyboard" (i.e. the gen 3 frontpanel).

A:X1 Carbon Gen 3 Keyboard on X1 Carbon Gen 2

I am interested in this exact topic as well. Looks like the Gen 3 keyboards lack the adaptive keyboard - that clear stripe on the top that changes. The FRU for these X1 Carbons seem to be the whole keyboard, adaptive part, trackpad and bezel - they go for 150 USD or so. Problem is we don't know if it will work given the model year differences. A nice alternative would be just to replace the trackpoint. They came close with this one, but it is no macbook in terms of tactile feel of the pad. I really am having a hard time with it and it's been about a month. Lenovo please help!

I have noticed over the past week or so that widows update was not running. When I tried to get IE to go to the update page, it couldn't find it. Having scanned numerous times with Avira and Spybot, Avira has now come up with the following:

The file 'C:\System Volume Information\_restore{129201FA-B0AC-49B3-96B2-DEB8B91E727B}\RP822\A0167009.sys'contained a virus or unwanted program 'TR/Rootkit.Gen3' [trojan]Action(s) taken:The file was moved to the quarantine directory under the name '4e369aac.qua'.

I did manage to then download someo the updates from Windows, but not all and Adaware crashes about half way through each time. Something very wrong here - can anyone help?

SpyHunter by Enigma Software Group USA, LLC is a dubious program and detection results should be analyzed carefully before you remove anything. When searching for malware removal assistance (and removal guides) on the Internet, it is not unusual to find numerous hits from untrustworthy and scam sites which mis-classify detections or provide misleading information. This is deliberately done more as a scam to entice folks into buying an advertised fix or using a questionable removal tool. SpyHunter (SpyHunter-Installer.exe), a dubious and ineffective program with a history of employing aggressive and deceptive advertising is one of the most common "so-called" removal tools pushed by these sites.Please read this topic for important information about SpyHunter.If you have downloaded and scanned with SpyHunter, any detection results should be viewed with suspicion. My personal recommendation would be to remove SpyHunter and replace it with a trustworthy alternative.You may need to perform security scans with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, Emsisoft Emergency Kit, AdwCleaner and JRT (Junkware Removal Tool).Also see the List of Free Scan & Disinfection Tools which can be used to supplement your anti-virus and anti-spyware in these topics:Antivirus, Antimalware, And Antispyware ResourcesSupplementing your Anti-Virus Program with Anti-Malware ToolsList of Anti-virus vendors that offer free LiveCD/Rescue CD utilitiesYou can supplement your anti-virus or get a second opinion by performing an Online Virus Scan. ESET Online Virus Scan is one of the more effective online scanners.If you need individual assistance with malware infection, you should start a new topic in the Am I infected? What do I do? forum

Right now I have a P8Z68-V GEN3 computer here and I'm trying to input xmp RAM but it's only reading the first part of the RAM. Eg. I put a single 4gb?3 ram in there and it only reads the first 4gb I enabled the setting for it but I'm not sure there's more to it. The settings automatically put the timing but idk.

I was attempting to overclock my 2500k and evidently changed a setting that I can not figure out how to change back which slowed my pc down. CPU-ID said it was running at 4ghz but when I bench-marked a game I was getting 96 FPS in I only got 32. I tried resting to optimal defaults but that did not change anything. Anyone know what this could be?

I have this motherboard & I thought 3603 was the last update----shows how long ago I looked---so I went to ASUS & checked---

so I found out there is 2 new Bios upgrades---bios 3703 with release date of 11/17/2014which crashed for Kanislupus& a new one--bios 3802 with a release date of 04/03/2015.so instead of just ASUS saying 3703 is buggy---they just went ahead & released a new BIOS------I would have tried to flash to bios 3802 for Kanislupus but I think he torehis system apart-----bios 3802 says RTC fix bios 3603 seems to be running fine----why bios 3703 would effectthe real time clock I'm not sure of--would have to ask ASUSalmost forgot--I'm running windows 7 64bit---some food for people to think about--

A:P8Z68-V Pro/Gen3 bios update

It's possible the RTC problem was there before 3703 was released, but not fixed until 3802 appeared.

Hello, I currently have a trojan that seems to have affected my computer.Last week Security Suite invaded my computer, and I used rkill to, what I assumed, remove it.

I picked up some silenx fans to swap out with my stock dell fans. Dell has their fans hooked up the mother board with a red white blue black wire plug. My silenx fans have 3 silver color type wires, so it's a different plug. It also has the regular 4 pin power supply plug

i was thinking i can hook up my new fans to the power supply, but it seems the power supply has no other connectors to hook up the new fans. I took a pic of a plug with black and white wires but i dont know what that is.

I attached pics below, so if there is a way to get these new fans up, even if it means cutting the dell wires and re-wiring to my new fans.. any help...

still new to all this

A:Help Changing fans in a Dell Xps gen3, with pics

Plug the new fan's 3-pin connector to the same place where the original 4-pin fan wire was. It will most probably work. However, you(r motherboard) will lose the ability to control the fan's speed.

Another way would be to use a molex ("bigger, regular 4-pin") splitter, and so free a connector for the fan, if you have molex powered CD drives or the like.

Hello I turned my computer in for about work days motherboard vs P8Z68 DELUXE/GEN3 Anyother ago to the technician Today i got a call from the tech guy and he told me that the error was on the motherboard and it needed to be replaced They said that they dont have the motherboard that i had and they cannot order it for some reason But P8Z68 DELUXE/GEN3 vs Anyother motherboard he offered me Gigabyte Z X-UD H-B Rev which he P8Z68 DELUXE/GEN3 vs Anyother motherboard said it should be as good as Asus P Z DELUXE GEN But i was skeptical so i said i have to look it up because something sound fishy with all this so i said i need to check it up before i can give answer The tech guy told me its ok you tell me which z motherboard you want and i look if i can hook it up for you and what the price will be Now i have been looking nonstop for a motherboard that can get compared to it and i have a really hard time finding one that is as good as the one i had the one he told me was about half the price i payed for mine not equally or even close to it So now i need the help what would you guys switch to and why and if not z then which motherboard that is around same price tag Not that the price tag should matter but obviously if i pay more money then i should get more slots utility or better quality and so on Azer ps sorry for P8Z68 DELUXE/GEN3 vs Anyother motherboard my bad english i hope it is understandable

A:P8Z68 DELUXE/GEN3 vs Anyother motherboard

If you are only looking at price, to get a more expensive Z68 board you will probably have to go with the Maximus Extreme IV-Z. However, the V-Pro/Gen 3 is the same board without a few of the amenities and cheaper too.

Hello all,I did something very stupid recently. I flashed my BIOS to fix mouse stuttering issues but used the Gen4 BIOS version 2.10. I was able to clear the CMOS and use the instant flash to restore the BIOS back the most recent Gen3 BIOS 1.10.

When I start the computer it shows the BIOS version is 1.10, but all of my SATA ports show as "not detected". I changed the SATA controller settings back to their defaults (IDE), but still no luck. I checked and all of the SATA connectors are still clicked firmly in place.

Any ideas?Thanks

A:Asrock Extreme 4 Gen3 BIOS Problems

I am not familiar with asrock boards. When you say you used the instant flash to restore the bios did you actually flash the bios with the original bios file or is this some type of auto recovery?

If you are able to flash the bios, I would reflash to the latest correct bios for your mb. Once done, restart and enter the bios. Load defaults or whatever asrock calls it and again restart. Enter the bios and make any custom settings you need ie sata mode, boot order, etc.

Hello I'm certain my computer has been infected with a virus during all my recent online Christmas shopping For the past couple days Avira detects Avira HTML/Rce.Gen3 Virus. Pro repeatedly detects the same virus everytime I go to websites such as Amazon or Google shopping I have been removing the detections each time but it never ends I contacted my antivirus support and the advice received had no effect as I'm still getting the constant detections I got this computer last November the only other thing Avira Pro repeatedly detects HTML/Rce.Gen3 Virus. in quarantine was months old so I'm sure this infection is from Avira Pro repeatedly detects HTML/Rce.Gen3 Virus. within the past couple days I have ran Avira and Malwarebytes a couple times without detection And in safe mode as well with no detection That's about as much as I know to do to try and catch these things I had found a support thread with Avira Pro repeatedly detects HTML/Rce.Gen3 Virus. somebody that had almost the exact issue with Avira and sites such as Amazon But they were told to follow some steps in a certain order and I do not want to make this worse I'm hoping with my moderate computer skills and some knowledgeable advice I could fix this This is just an awful time of year for this I concerned about if I can even check my financial statements Any help in resolving this I would greatly Appreciate Here is what its listed as in quarantine Type File Detection HTML Rce Gen Source C Users Me Appdata Local Microsoft Windows Temporary Internet Files Low Content IE LG NBA L sz x ord htm

Hi, I am trying to use an experiment board (not a graphic card) which has a PCIe gen3 x8 connector, and I install it in the only PCIe gen3 slot in Z230 machine. However, the OS (Ubuntu 16.04 LTS) could not recongnize the PCIe board. I checked the Z230 manual, it says the the slot is designed for graphic cards, and only the cards certified as After Market Options are supported. What does that mean? Is it the reason I could not use the card on that slot? Is there a way to get it work? Thanks!

The best place to get an answer on your Linux query would be at a forum which supports the flavor of Linux that you have installed.

I updated my motherboard from bios version 0402 to 3703 since I was updating my video card in the next week. Once the update was complete the reboot looped from the system check to the Asus logo over and over. I've tried to reset the board by jumper and battery removal, but all that does is reset the system clock. The bios remains the same. What have I done?

The only thing I can do is hit the 'del' and get to the bios, where I still see the Hard drives but for whatever reason it won't boot to them.

Is it possible to roll the bios back to the 0402? Is there a fix at all? Please any help would be greatly appreciated.

So I enabled this controller in the biosrecently , enabled the eprom. Have a 6gb cable attached and a ssd. Why does it set to 3gb/s? It says so during boot and I checked it in windows with crystal disk info. Windows 7 seems to detect it and I can read/write from it. I however suspect something with the bios since when the device is loaded pre-bios its already stating its @ 3Gb/s. At first I let windows load drivers from it from windows update, then I also tried installing the driver from asus website but that just seemed to decrase the performance even more, if Crystaldiskmark would be considered reliable which I consider it should.

What colour SATA ports are you using? The Marvell ports are navy blue.

I see that there is about C$ 70 price difference between both.I see that they both support the Intel Z68 chipset. Both support Intel SRT technology. Sata 3, USB 3.0.Do they both come with integrated audio and graphics on board the MOBO?Do they both support Intel i5 and i7 current Sandy Bridge procesors 2500k and 2600k as well as supoprting the upcoming Ivy Bridge?

The Asus board has no Integrated Graphics. Both have Onboard Audio. You would have to go to each Mobo webpage to find out if they support a particular Processor. A personal preference for me, I prefer Gigabyte boards over Asus. Usually though this is a point of Price for me. Both make some outstanding products. I took a quick peak at the Gigabyte board overview, I kind of got interested in the Touch Bios feature.

Maybe someone who is an Intel Fanboy (I only build AMD) can give you better help.

Hi, I have read that all the carbons after the gen 2 use an M2.ssd. Is there anything to stop you from changing or swapping the ssd around. Are there any videos or pictures online that might show me where the drive is located. Is there anything that would stop me from buying the model with the smallest and cheapset M2 ssd and then later putting in something newer? Thanks

A:X1 Carbon Gen 4 SSD

Sorry, perhaps I can rephrase this a little clearer. Can I assume that all the thinkpad carbon gen 4s will support any NVMe M2 SSD that I buy?

I have two gen 2 X1 carbons, one with an i5 4200u (8GB RAM) and the other is i5 4210u (4GB RAM). The 4210u one, when not doing anything very intensive, is completely silent. I can put the vent up against my ear and hear nothing at all - the fan is off. The 4200u is not the same. When it boots off, the fan is off. It will stay off for about 30 seconds and then start up. It's very quiet but I don't see why it's on at all. It should be off, all it's doing is wasting power. Why is it that the 4210u stays off until I'm doing something intensive but the 4200u is always on? The 4210u is 100Mhz faster but they have the same TDP. Is there something I forgot to install after updating to Windows 10 that tells the fan to shut up when not doing much? Thanks for any help

A:X1 Carbon 512 GB SSD Encryption

I believe that drive in not self-encrypting/ Please note that the BIOS password is not what is used to encrypt self-encrypting. Rather it is the ATA (hard disk) password. In any case, if you set an ATA password, it is considered uncrackable. If you have a self-encrypting drive and no ATA password, the drive can simply be moved to a different machine and read directly.

My new laptop will randomly shut turn itself off. It's happened twice this week and I've only had it a couple weeks. Thoughts?

A:X1 Carbon keeps shutting down

Did you ever resolve this? My X1 shuts goes to sleep after about 2 minutes and I have to log in to wake it up. It's an annoyance--if i stop to think about anything for more than 2 minutes I have to wake it up each time. About once a day it turns itself off entirely. I know the settings are correct, and all drivers are current This happens whether it is plugged in or not.

Hi All Is it possible to get the Hibernate option in window 10 on the X1 Carbon 2nd Gen? I have sleep, reboot and shutdown. I like to sleep the laptop so I can start work where I left it. However, I have found that it keep getting out of sleep spontaneously when its in my laptop bag. which I think is dangerous. So I am desperatly looking for a solution for this. Thanks

A:SSD x1 carbon changing

It's not possible because the two systems use SSDs with different physical sizes. The original X1C uses an mSATA SSD but the X1C2 uses an M.2 SSD.

My computer was doing some Windows updates yesterday. I thought the process was done, but now I'm thinking maybe I shut it down a little too soon. This morning when I tried to boot up the computer, I couldn't get past the start up screen with the Lenovo logo. Sometimes the screen just stays there, sometimes it moves on and the screen just goes blank. I can't make it past this screen. I've tried doing a hard reset. I poked around some of the settings in safe mode (which I can't always get to), but nothing seemed to work. Anyone have any ideas on recovering rather than having to wipe the whole computer and start over?

A:x1 Carbon won't start up

I got my ThinkPad X1 Carbon 4th gen directly from Lenovo two days ago. This morning it won't turn on let alone boot. Tried the reset several times. Tried the press power 10 times for 1 sec then 30 sec. Still won't turn on. I spent about two days getting everything set up. Appartently two days wasted. I am working with Lenovo on getting a new machine but this is pretty frustrating. I don't see a way to disconnect the battery whcih is part of the "press power 10 times for 1 sec then 30 sec" solution that I have seen on the web. I think Mark_Lenovo has posted on this (for perhaps older X1s) but I cannot see a way to contact him. I think this must be some sort of static issue. I really hope this is not a common X1 problem. I wonder if I should just get a refund and start with a different computer. I have a ThinkStation which works well which is why I went for a ThinkPad to replace my 2012 Macbook Pro Retina Display.

I just bought my NFS Carbon Collectors Edition about a month ago, and the first time I installed it everything worked perfectly...but just recently I did a complete reboot and cleaning of my system (as in everything). When everything on my comp was back to normal, I tried to install NFS again but alas! It failed!

For some reason the only point I can reach during the installation process is the license agreement, which appears blank. If I agree with the license, it then tells me that I need Direct X 0(yes 0) or higher to continue.

I have no idea what that's about... I checked my disk, which is so new it doesn't have time to get any scratches on it, and even scanned it for errors, but nothing showed up.

I really need some help on this matter. Any support will be appreciated.

Hi,My X1 with great specs is not as good as it should be (i7, 8GB RAM, 500G SSD).2 -3 times a day it crashes (BSOD). After installing Synaptics general drivers, that's gone. But I end up with many applications not scrolling.The fingerprint is unstable. Often the light is green when logging on, sometimes still working, sometimes not working at all. Searching the internet, I find I am not alone.This is my first post on this forum.I have been using Thinkpads for something like 15 years, and mostly been proud and happy about it. X, T-series, even 770 (?). They were all very stable and usable for business use.My X1 is mediocre however.I would very much like Lenovo to do something about these issues for their flagship system.
